Srimad-Bhagavatam: Canto 11 - Chapter 1 - Verse 31

Sanskrit:

इदानीं नाश आरब्ध: कुलस्य द्विजशापज: ।यास्यामि भवनं ब्रह्मन्नेतदन्ते तवानघ ॥ ३१ ॥

ITRANS:

idānīṁ nāśa ārabdhaḥkulasya dvija-śāpa-jaḥyāsyāmi bhavanaṁ brahmannetad-ante tavānagha

Translation:

Now due to the brāhmaṇas’ curse, the annihilation of My family has already begun. O sinless Brahmā, when this annihilation is finished and I am enroute to Vaikuṇṭha, I will pay a small visit to your abode.

Purport:

The members of the Yadu dynasty are eternal servants of the Lord; therefore Śrīla Jīva Gosvāmī has explained the word nāśaḥ, or “destruction,” as nigūḍhāyāṁ dvārakāyāṁ praveśanam ity arthaḥ: the members of the Yadu dynasty entered into the hidden or confidential Dvārakā in the spiritual world, which is not manifested here on the earth. In other words, Dvārakā, the Lord’s abode, is manifest on the earth, and when the earthly Dvārakā is apparently removed, the eternal Dvārakā in the spiritual world remains as it is. Since the members of the Yadu dynasty are eternal associates of the Lord, there is no question of their destruction. Only our conditioned vision of their manifestation was destroyed. This is the meaning of the word nāśaḥ.
